*CAPO 2nd FRET*


*NB: I'm unsure of the A chord used 
in the Bridge, but it sounds close* 

Verse 1: 

D6 
 All I can ever be to you, 
     G#m7/5b 
Is a darkness that we knew, 
    G7M 
And this regret, 
  F#m7   Em9      D/F#  G  E/G# 
I got ac-customed to. 


D6 
 Once it was so right, 
     G#m7/5b 
When we were at our high, 
G7M 
 Waiting for you, 
F#m7       Em9          D/F#  G  E/G# 
 In the ho-tel at night. 

Verse 2: 
         D6 
I knew I hadn't, 

Met my match, 
          G#m7/5b 
But every moment, 

We could snatch. 
  G7M 
I don't know why, 
F#m7   Em9          D/F#  G  E/G# 
 I got so attached. 


          D6 
It's my responsibility, 
              G#m7/5b 
And you don't owe, 

Nothing to me, 
       G7M 
But to walk away; 
  F#m7       Em9     F#m7 
I have no ca-pacity.

G7M           F#m7 
 He walks away, 
        Bm7 
The sun goes down, 
G7M 
 He takes the day, 
    F#m7       Bm7 
But I'm grown. 
    G7M 
And in this grey, 
        F#m7       Bm7 
In this blue shade, 
   E7 
My tears dry, 
   F#m7  G 
On their own. 

Verse 3: 
D6 
 I don't understand, 
    G#m7/5b 
Why do I stress a man, 
     G7M 
When there?s so many, 
F#m7    Em9             D/F#  G  E/G# 
 Better things at hand. 


           D6 
We could a never had it all, 
   G#m7/5b 
We had to hit a wall, 
   G7M 
So this is, 
   F#m7  Em9             D/F#  G  E/G# 
In-evita-ble withdrawal. 

Verse 4: 
        D6 
Even if I stop wanting you, 
      G#m7/5b 
A Per-spective pushes through, 
     G7M        F#m7 
I'll be some next man's, 
      Em9         D/F#  G  E/G# 
Other woman soon. 


        D6 
I can't play myself again, 
              G#m7/5b 
I should just be, 

My own best friend, 
    G7M       F#m7 
Not fuck myself in the head, 
     Em9         F#m7 
With stupid men.

In this blue shade, 
   E7 
My tears dry,

Bridge 1: 
   A 
So we are history, 

Your shadow covers me, 

The sky above, 

A blaze...

And in your wake, 

In this blue shade, 

My tears dry, 

On their own. 

Verse 5: 
  D6 
I wish I could say, 

No regrets, 
       G#m7/5b 
And no emotional debts, 
     G7M           F#m7 
'Cos as we kiss good-bye, 
    Em9       D/F#  G  E/G# 
The sun sets. 


   D6 
So we are history, 
    G#m7/5b 
The shadow covers me, 
    G7M       F#m7 
The sky above a blaze, 
          Em9         F#m7 
That only lovers see.
